I’m sure I’m not the first person to ask this but why was the 1-50 ranking system abandoned? Aside from gameplay I feel like it’s the biggest thing missing in Halo multiplayer. I really think it’s something Halo Infinite needs to keep retention from players. It will be 13 years by the time Halo Infinite comes out since we have seen the 1-50 ranking system and I believe it will be so refreshing for players old and new.
The old Rank 1-50 was abused.
Players starting new accounts to boost and sell. People de-ranking to play farm K:D. Ragers quitting to preserve their precious #.
And it doesn’t really matter if there is a number 1-50… a precious stone ranking (eg Diamond 4)… or something entirely new. It’s all arbitrary divisions of some internal ranking system (eg. Truskill).
The important part is that it refreshes regularly (ie. Seasons). This may be frustrating when you have to restart every time… but it minimised a lot of the problems with the old persistent system.
None of these issueS seem to be a problem in MCC.

None of these issues seam to be a problem in MCC. The only problem I find with it in MCC 1-50 is your not matching within 10 ranks below or above your rank because of low player count.
I always hope every Halo will have the 1-50 rank, but I admit, it is based on me being nostalgic. I just enjoy it alot more…

Probably because it’s a different population (more casual / nostalgic).
If they return to a non-seasonal format with infinite (wether based on numbers, precious stones, or mythical creatures) - the old issues will almost certainly return.
